Botswana

A horseback safari in Botswana is considered by many to be the ultimate riding safari holiday, offering abundant and varied game, extremely experienced and knowledgeable guides and well-schooled, responsive horses; all in an exceptional setting.

Historically the Okavango Delta has been the main area for horseback safaris in Botswana and there is now a choice of three luxury tented camps all offering superb quality horses, guiding and game viewing, PLUS a unique mobile tented camp that moves on each night on a journey through the Delta. The wildlife viewing, weather and riding differ hugely depending on the time of year and it can be difficult to decide between the options, so please call or email us. Our specialists have visited and ridden extensively in the Delta and they will be pleased to give you their expert impartial advice.

As well as the Okavango Delta there are now riding safaris based in the Makgadikgadi pans and in the south east of the country on the Mashatu Reserve in the Tuli Block. The landscape and wildlife of the Makgadikgadi is unique and makes a fascinating experience on it's own or it can be combined with one of the horseback safaris in the Delta. The Tuli Block safaris equal those in the Okavango Delta in terms of wildlife, guiding and quality of horses, but the terrain is quite different and the camps are not as luxurious so they are ideal if budget is a significant factor.

Seated high above the long grass and
reeds of the Okavango Delta, riders see giraffe, elephant, buffalo, many species of antelope
and even lion. Combine this with luxury bush camps and you have the
riding experience of a lifetime. The perfect choice if you are wanting faster riding during your safari.

Ride from camp to camp in the Limpopo area of Botswana which is renowned for it's elephants and large cats, on some wonderful horses. You can expect great game viewing in a truly remote wilderness setting, a real African adventure and experience you will never forget.

This luxury tented safari has everything you could want from a horseback safari;
abundant and varied game, extremely experienced and knowledgeable lead guides PJ & Barney
and well schooled, responsive horses; all in the unique setting of the
Okavango Delta.

Set on the north edge of the Okavango Delta near the Selinda Spillway, this camp offers riding as well as walking, game drives and boat safaris, so is ideal for non-riders as well as riders. Each tent has its own veranda overlooking the Spillway where elephants regularly come to bath and drink.

The Makgadikgadi salt pans, a complete contrast to the neighbouring Okavango Delta. These salt pans offer some unique highlights - shy brown hyaena; meerkat families; some of the largest baobab trees in the world;
and walks with
bushmen. A unique environment, that is surprisingly breathtaking!

A mobile tented safari through the Delta, the perfect safari for those looking for a remote experience, simple bush camps and an authentic 'African Safari' - whilst you go by horseback your luggage goes by mokoro, onto its destination of a secluded camp on a beautiful remote island!
